Another fabulous evening at FoodCycle and they qere sonomeased to have lur team of 6 GoodGymers providing some vital support. Gill and Lucie were coking - Lucie on the starter made a delicious celery and stilton soup while Gill made use of the lemons 🍋 to make a lemon and sultana sponge pudding. Ezrik joined them in the kitchen for his first FoodCycle task and did an amazing job of the washing up. Teklay had his first turn at hosting alongside Sam and Abdulrahman and they did a great job of setting up the hall, serving the guests and tidying up after. Another evening of great team work. Well done all.

there must be some clutter free houses in Luton and beyond as several of our GoodGymers including Harvey from Ealing had a good clear out and took their unwanted items to a nearby charity shop.

Today was the final day for the Tub2Pub challenge and our area activator was keen to know from Gill, "Whatever happened to all those heroes?" No the GoodGymers didn't eat them all but had been collecting tubs from a school, a church and work colleagues. So we had lots of empty tubs to deliver to various Green King Lubs. Laura dropped hers at the Battle of Axes pub in Aldenham and gets the prize for getting round the margest number of pubs. Ella dropped hers at the Biscot Mill after our Wednesday group run, Lucie walked up to the Jolly Topers on Friday while Gill and Omar did a double whammy, dropping off lots of Heroes tubs at the Jolly Milliner after the litter pick and then walking/ cycling to the Biscot Mill with Teklay to make a final drop off after our charity shop task. Well done to all who have done the task this year, saving plastics from going in landfill and contributing to Macmillan Cancer care , a charity close to my heart.

We had a team of 9 GoodGymers at FoodCycle tonight, which was great as they were very short of volunteers. Lucie and Gill had been preparing the meal including peeling and slicing bags and bags of shallots for the French Onion Soup, as well as making a delicious lentil and mushroom bake. The rest of our team were hosting, and Teklay was stuck in at the sink on Potwasher duties. Well done to everyone who worked well to make sure the evening went smoothly.

There was a great turn out from GoodGym at FoodCycle today. With four of us in the cooking team and three in the hosting team this evening we served 42 guests plus 8 takeaways .
